On my mountain bike the top tube is the same size all the way up, so big I can't even use the bolts and clamps that came with the tank :( (JB Weld or Duct tape?). The washer method worked for my petcock.

You could probably use JB Weld or buy a 90 degree petcock too, like this one (fuzzy image):

That's not mine it's just a pic I found on teh interwebz. However you can get them here:

Chrome Early Style OEM Petcock with 90° Spigot for 1975-up Harley Big Twin & XL Sportster - www.debrix.com

Not quite sure what size the threads are on the stock petcock. The link I gave is for 3/8".

Edit: I found one thread claiming the stock petcock NPT thread size to be 10mm:

Maybe you could PM sportscarpat to make sure that's what he was referring to.

I did do the dab of grease on the small gear but this is what the instructions say as per bikeberrys instructions,

"Left side drive: Routinely pack grease in the shaft hole behind 10t drive sprocket and also in cover bushing hole. This will also help reduce noise."

I looked and could not see any shaft hole, I think there instruction suck, can I say that?
